I Have Nothing To Hide

Online privacy is a very limited idea in todays world. People are asked how safe do they feel and they respond they have nothing to hide. My feeling on this is people are generally unaware of how unsafe there information is. They also might be unaware of all the information they actually have online. Sometimes people do not understand all the information they have put on their Facebook pages or twitter accounts that actually tells more about them than they realize. They do not think about the reality of hackers and how they can obtain information that these people think is private. As great as the internet is and all the privacy policies it has to offer there are holes everywhere and hackers find these holes and steal information from people and most of the time people do not understand its happened until its too late.

As for me I would have considered myself one of these people prior to being introduced to this class. I would regard myself as someone who is very careful about what I put online however I know there is more than I think. Like I said in the previous paragraph I understand there is probably more information about me online than I think which does scare me a bit. Even though it is still early in this class I have learned a lot about how the internet word and how it is nowhere close to 100% safe. After seeing the videos I have and reading the articles I have it scares me to think how available my information is and how it could be obtained by hackers. Knowing that I do understand there are parts that are safe but you just always need to be careful about what gets put up online.
